 neobrain | One gripe I've had with Colmena is that my config always lives off-target, preventing me from seeing what config a possibly-outdated system is actually running.
But I had a fun idea today:
environment.etc = {
"nixos/config".source = ./.;
"nixos/flake.nix".source = "/etc/nixos/config/flake.nix";
};
| 11:26:23 |
| neobrain | ^ that'll copy the flake source to the target (if it wasn't already) on each colmena run, and it adds a /etc/nixos/flake.nix symlink so that nixos-rebuild can run as well. (One could instead write the flake to /etc/nixos with a single rule, but I've got other files in there that I don't want to overwrite) | 11:27:58 |
 craige | Has anyone ever seen a problem with `git-crypt` and `colmena` where Colmena sends the secrets encrypted, instead of unencrypted? | 11:33:25 |
